Quite a bit has changed during Cynthia's two-year absence, after being defeated by a young trainer.
For instance, Detective Looker has successfully incarcerated Team Galactic members, along with its executives and even its leader, Cyrus. Due to that success, and subsequently receiving more attention in the press, the International Police have given him a base of operations. This is ironically located in the former Eterna City Team Galactic HQ.
Unfortunately, there is now another evil entity amongst the Sinnoh Region; Vesta. Vesta is the sister of Cyrus, and has been in hiding since her brother's arrest. Little does everyone know, she's been forming a team of her own, and is planning something big for the Sinnoh region, using the remnants of her brother's research. With the same ideals, only an even more despicable personality, the Neo-Galactics are sure to shake up the region.
To everyone's surprise, a new trainer has taken the title of regional champion; Baron. This trainer hails from the Kalos region, and baffled the Elite Four with Pokémon they had never seen before. They were no match for him, and he quickly got face to face with the champion. The battle was intense, but an inevitable victory for Baron, who still remains undefeated.
A pleasant change for once, Professor Dawn has taken over the duties of Professor Rowan in the Sandgem Town lab. Together with Rowan's fellow former understudy Lucas, they now lead the operations of the lab. With the recent increase in immigration, they are set out to collect data on all new Pokémon that roam the Sinnoh region, a task they can not fulfill alone. Which is why today they are giving a few lucky trainers their starter Pokémon, and a Pokédex, to set out on an amazing journey.
One of those trainers is Roman. Roman has lived in Twinleaf Town since he was born, and has always dreamt of going on a journey like this. When they were younger, Roman and his sister Selena, who is three years his elder, would run off to Lake Acuity and train there. Roman used his father's Gabite, while Selena had a Buneary which eventually evolved into Lopunny. His father used to say that one day he'd be getting his own Pokémon, and that he'd become a better trainer he ever was. Today, that prediction would become reality.

That's it for the intro, I made a few changes to the previous one. As for character sheets, I'd like for each of you to have two. One trainer who receives a starter, and one person, it doesn't neccessarily have to be a trainer, who you also control, so that when character one doesn't have much dialogue, you can use character two.
Below is mine. I'm not sure about a second character yet, I'll introduce him/her later into the story.
Name: Roman
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Hometown: Twinleaf Town
Backstory: Roman has lived in Twinleaf Town since he was born, and has always dreamt of going on a journey like this. When they were younger, Roman and his sister Selena, who is three years his elder, would run off to Lake Acuity and train there. Roman used his father's Gabite, while Selena had a Buneary which eventually evolved into Lopunny. His father used to say that one day he'd be getting his own Pokémon, and that he'd become a better trainer he ever was. Today, that prediction would become reality.
Personality: Roman is passionate about battling, and it's all he really ever thinks about. He's quick to make friends, and is a genuine fun person to be around. He tends to be the joker of the group, and tackles every problem with optimism. In battle he has limited experience, but all of the knowledge.
Physical description and main outfit: Roman stands at 5'9, with an average male build. He's not too skinny, but certainly not too fat either. His eyes are ash grey, as well as his hair, which he hides under a black backwards snapback with a Hearthome Hitters, the city's baseball team, logo on it. He usually wears grey comfortable sweatpants, with black sneakers underneath. His T-shirts range from plain black to black with different logo's on it.
Own Pokémon: None
Starter Pokémon: Turtwig
Hope you like it. When I have the character sheets, I'll fire up the actual RP.
